Strontium 90 (band)

Strontium 90 were a short-lived British band active in 1977 whose members were Mike Howlett (bass, vocals) from Gong, Sting (vocals, guitar, bass) and Stewart Copeland (drums) from the Police, and Andy Summers (guitar). The band is most notable for introducing Summers to Sting and Copeland. Strontium 90 were formed in mid-1977 by Howlett after he had left Gong and recruited Sting and Summers to participate in this new project. Howlett had wanted to recruit drummer Chris Cutler, but he was unavailable so Sting brought along Copeland from his own band the Police.
